The module will enhance your ability to recognise and manage the health care needs of acutely ill adults.

Classroom-based induction days are usually scheduled for the first week of each term prior to the module start date. If you have not studied at the University of Cumbria in the past two years, attendance at an induction day is advised. Alternatively, a web-based induction programme is available for distance learning students.

The running of this module is dependent on there being sufficient numbers of interest.
